Make French comprehensible input easy to teach with this ready-to-use French movietalk for French 2. Based on the animated short Reflection, this complete lesson gives students meaningful listening, reading, vocabulary, and comprehension practice through a relatable story about fitting in and staying true to yourself.

A teen girl wants to fit in, so she tries wearing makeup and acting more like the other girls. But does fitting in mean giving up the things that make her happy?

This French movie talk is designed for high school French classes, especially French 2. You can also adapt the script and questioning for more advanced students by adding or removing story details.
